Elon Musk Confirms Nearly 400-Mile Range For Updated Roadster

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk gave Roadster owners some good news this Christmas with further confirmation that a massive battery upgrade is on the way. Musk first mentioned the battery upgrade in an October interview, and hinted that more news would come this week.

According to Musk, a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco (which is roughly 382 miles, and would take you just under 6 hours to complete) would be completely possible with the upgraded Roadster. The current Roadster would run out of juice after just 245 miles into the journey.If you're a Model S owners, don't expect to see battery upgrades offered anytime soon. Musk also posted the following tweet:

Should mention that a battery pack upgrade is not coming soon for the Model S, but it obviously *will* happen long-term.
